New version of Sweet Candy 0-0-16 vs older 0-0-1

That's a good point.

@Greenleaf Nutrients can you tell us more about this?


about the Sweet Candy, yes its the same product dosage wise. If you were to make a liquid concentrate, it would be 0-0-1, however now that we have official nice printed bags, the standard for dry fertilizer is to use the actual NPK terminology on the label (not the liquid equivalent). So, 0 changes with the product, just the label only.

That’s the response I got in the same thread I posted the screenshot of the email in. I’m guessing the NPK on any of the new bags would reflect this
 
That answers sweet candy, but not all other products. Do they change when mixed with water also?

Not a fan of a value listed on label, but then once "mixed with water" its different. Makes me nervous. I think the NPK stated on the bag should give the values the PLANTS ARE GETTING once mixed as directed. This "hobby" is expensive. I do coco so I know exactly what my ladies are getting. Now I am thrown a loop that I dont. Some might say its no big deal, but to me...it is.

Lets say your child suffers a nutrient deficiency. The doc says they must have an extra 500 units of calcium a day or health issues could happen. The doctor gives you a meal replacement powder that says "500 units calcium". You give him 3 packs thinking he is getting the proper amount per day the doctor ordered. But little does the parent know "after mixed with water" the solution contains only 200 units of calcium. UMMM....not good.

SO, is mega crop is 9-6-17 and bud explosion 0-19-39 after mixed with water?

I'm not saying its not great stuff. I think it is wonderful! I am saying I would like to know exactly what my ladies are getting. Packaging should reflect that, or at the least, say it on the back once mixed with water it is different.

Of course I worry about a label. I want to know what I am giving them. (and that is why I use coco) It works great dont question it is a great way to think, (and it does work ultra great!) but if an issue DOES come up maybe as growers we can identify it better by knowing exactly what we are feeding them and trust what the package says.

I would also like to know what he values are of MC when mixed. I’m guessing the number labeling/testing game is kind of questionable too. Just cause some labels have high numbers doesn’t mean it’s all available to the plant.
 
And I believe I read when they had the new official bags made they were told they had to put the n-p-k values as they r in the bag. That’s federal I think. I feel the values on the bag and reading your girls will still tell u what u need. It is all confusing lol
 
I believe they have to label that way. Not sure about the MC value when mixed in water. Funny everybody has beautiful plants and harvest but worried about a label. I worry about what my girls tell me.

Not all of us can read plants. And its nice to know what NPK values you are dealing with when you grab a product off the shelf and go to use it. Its needs to be 100% accurate and clear to the end users. No question.

@Greenleaf Nutrients please tell us about the NPK labeling and how it changes when mixed for all your products not just SC. Its freaking important shit man.
 
Thanks. You’re killing it with mega getting worried about some numbers. If something goes wrong plenty here to help slow always got your back. I guarantee @greenleaf label a the bags according to the law. I’ve used so many different nutes with different NPK numbers and 12 bottles all with different npk getting mixed together never knew what the npk of the actual mix but the plants always grew.
